a affiliate who uses my content for evil

Load up www.picminer.com/tgp.html

Pick a thumb and click on that same thumb 5 times. Chances are you will see the gallery 3-4 times, but the other times you will be 'jerked' to a trade.

This is skimming and in 2004 this is the normal way of TGP trading. "Skimless" TGPs - where every click on a gallery link really goes to the gallery - are now the exception.

Until this thread I had never heard any sponsors complain about affiliates using skimming to grow traffic. From what I understand, a couple of you are in uproar because a thumb with sponsor content didn't go to the gallery every single click.

I have to ask one thing: if a sponsor (Torn) offers hosted TGP galleries then surely they understand what skimming is? As I said, it's 2004...
